Me: *running towards door* Hurry up divesh! Get out of the house.

*Opens door*

*Sees my identical twin standing at the door*

Him: *waves hand* Hel....

Me: *To him* Whoever you are! Just run now.

*We both run and hide behind a wall*

Me: Who are you? My clone?

Him: HEY! I am yesterday's divesh. Like, if today is 1st October, then I am 30 th September's divesh.

Me: And how did you come here?

Yesterday's divesh: DP4 brought me!

Me: Who's DP4?

*A kid appears*

DP4: Hello! Great Great Great Grandfathers, I have come from the future, so that you guys can help me in completing my school research project!

Me: Damn, you made the time machine?My generation would be so intelligent!

DP4: Na GGG Grandfather! I borrowed it from SJ3's son.

Me: You mean Sharma Ji's son?

DP4: Yeah!

Me: Sharmaji's kid would never stop embarrassing Indian Kids! Anyways, what's this NB, SJ? No proper names in the future?

DP4: Oh! That's because at present you guys stereotype a person on the basis of his/her religion, caste, creed, etc. just by hearing their name. So, we have abolished this thing and now only short form matters, and there is very less discrimination. This issue had faced it's worse stage . when every other person got offended just because of the name shown on newspaper or visual media.

Yesterday's Me: *to me* By the way, why were you running Divesh ?

Me: I don't know yaar! I was just sitting in the drawing room, when suddenly, the glass vase on the lobby's table fell on the floor and broke into pieces! Mom shouted from kitchen, and I just ran for my life. Don't know what happened. Now, mom won't spare me.

Yesterday's Me: Don't worry! DP4 would drop me back, and now, as I am aware of the tomorrow's event, I won't let this happen.

Me: That means, if I go back home now, nothing would happen, because you have already sorted everything from your side. Right?

Yesterday's divesh: Yeah, right!

DP4: *To Yesterday's divesh* Let's go Great Great Great Grandfather! I'll drop you.

*They both leave through time machine*

Me: *Enters house*

*Mom is trying to open the store room*

Me: Hey mom! What happened?

Mom: *Smiles* So, you are here?

Me: *to myself* Damn, that Yesterday's divesh betrayed my trust!

Me: *to myself* Damn, that Yesterday's divesh betrayed my trust!

*Then, I go to my room while rubbing cheeks*

*DP4 is already in my room*

DP4: Hey Great Great Great Grandfather, what happened? You look angry?

Me: I need revenge! That Yesterday's divesh, whom you have just dropped, wouldn't do anything because of which I have this red mark on cheeks. Now, he would save himself by not letting the Vase fall on the floor. But what about my pain?

DP4: That's easy! I have a plan.

Me: What plan?

DP4: See, I have this pill which makes a person forget their last 24 hours activities! So, now we have to just mix those pills in Yesterday's divesh milk and hide inside the store.

*VASE BREAKING DAY for Yesterday's divesh*

Yesterday's divesh: *to himself* Okay, so today I have to look at the Vase, and stop it from breaking into pieces, so, that I can save my future self (s) from Mom's beating.

*Meanwhile, Me and the DP4 mix those pills in Yesterday's divesh milk glass and hide inside the store room*

*Yesterday's divesh drink that milk and forgets that he has to take care of the Glass Vase*

DP4: *to me* Okay, so divesh is sitting in the drawing room, and has no idea about Vase breaking (future) event.

Me: Okay, so let's start!

*I come out of the store room and deliberately throw the Vase on the floor. Mom sees me from the kitchen and shouts. I run inside the store room while Yesterday's divesh runs out of the house*

Me: *to DP4* Now what?

DP4: Relax! I'll drop you in the future. Now, the time would play it's card.

*Me and DP4 jump out of Store Room's window while Mom tries opening the store's door*

*After sometime*

Yesterday's Me: *Enters house*

*Mom is trying to open the store room*

Yesterday's Me: Hey mom! What happened?

Mom: *Smiles* So, you are here?

AND IT GOES ON......

*In distant future, at a random school*
